About This Item
New York: Grove, 1958, 1958. First Edition. SPECIALLY BOUND LIMITED EDITION, one of 100 numbered copies of the first appearance in English. (This copy is number 24). A landmark of existentialist literature. First published in French in 1957 as FIN DE PARTIE, the English translation was prepared by the author. The gilding to the front cover is fresh, but it is darkened on the slightly faded spine. There is a bit of shelfwear to the base of the spine, top edges are age toned. As with all copies of this book, the gutter is darkened at the point where the limitation leaf was bound in. Overall, an appealing copy of a rare state of a very important book. Housed in a clear vinyl wrapper.
